NORFOLK LEAGUE: White Riot v Ash Samba Boyz.
Saturday 14th March 2009, Kick off: 19:00 CET,
at Slightly Less Shit Stadium, Surrey.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This week we turn our attention to the top of the Norfolk league as the two early pace setters clash. This game brings together two of the most successful sides in Norfolk league history with 6 league titles between them. White Riot are chasing an incredible 5th consecutive title whilst their opponents Ash Samba Boyz are looking for their 3rd.
THIS SEASON------------------------------------------------
White Riot have made a good start with 7 points from their opening 3 matches. They began with victories over Ross County Reserves and Shawfield Reborn wracking up 7 goals in the process, before last weeks draw at toon rejects. The Riot exited the Trophy early on with manager Andrew Saunders having already declared that the league is his number one priority.
It's been a while since the Ash Samba Boyz mounted a strong title challenge but they have produced their best ever start to a league campaign with three wins out of three. So far HM Gunners, Dros Delnoch and Hotshots have all been defeated but they now face one of their nemesis. The Samba Boyz were also defeated in their opening cup match, an entertaining 3-2 defeat to finalists Dros Delnoch.

TEAM NEWS----------------------------------------------------
White Riot may be without keeper Dan Mallett so Dave Wetherall looks set to continue in goal.
The Samba Boyz have a full squad to chose from after defender António Quintino recovered from injury.
PREDICTION----------------------------------------------------
Recent games between these two have been very close, although White Riot have traditionally had the edge. The Riot are normally exceptionally good at home, whilst the Samba Boyz usually pick up more points on their travels than they do at home. This is the clash of the two strongest sides according to the xpert 11 website so it could go either way.
PREDICTION: 1-0 White Riot.
